The Rapture Trap … (Part 9)
(The Revelations, the Lord has given to me by the Spirit, along
with my teachings and comments, are written in Blue. The term Original Hebrew: as
used in this particular post, refers to the Eth Cepher (meaning: Divine
Book) whom many scholars consider to be a more accurate or complete translation
of Christian Holy Scripture. May we all have ears to hear)
Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many
shall come in my name, saying, I (Jesus) am Christ (the Annointed Messiah:
Strongs G5547); and the time draweth near: go ye not
therefore after them. (Jesus
spoke these words, prior to going to the cross, in relation to a question
pertaining to the end of that age in which He lived back then, which turned out
to be when the Temple was destroyed, by the Roman army, in 70 AD. These Words
of Jesus are still good today. Let’s all remember what was prophesied in Daniel 7:13-14 I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came
to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there
was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and
languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his
kingdom that which shall not be
destroyed. (It was well over 500 years later, when
Christ Jesus fulfilled this prophecy. Now without getting sidetracked, let’s take notice of the 3 more
Scriptures within the same Chapter.)
*
Daniel 7:18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom,
and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
*
Daniel 7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, (Almighty God came, revealing His power through the
person of Jesus Christ. Remember in John 8:58 where Jesus said Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I
am) and
(then after Christ Jesus died on the cross, rose again and
ascended upon High) judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the
kingdom.
*
Daniel 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the
kingdom under the whole heaven, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and
obey him. (So,
let’s ask ourselves, who are the people of the saints of the Most High, who
have been given an everlasting kingdom, dominion and greatness of the kingdom?)
John 14:13-21 And WHATSOEVER ye
shall ask in my name (in
the CHARACTER, and the AUTHORITY of Christ Jesus: Strongs G3686. It’s not just
because we mention His name. We should be in a right [RIGHTEOUS ATTITUDE] and
AT ONE with HIM in OUR INNERMOST BEING, in order to pray in HIS name AUTHORITY
and CHARACTER), that will I do, that the Father may be
glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any
thing in my name (in the CHARACTER of Christ Jesus), I (Jesus) will
do it. If ye love me, keep
my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of
truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to
you. Yet a little while, and THE WORLD SEETH ME NO MORE; (Now what is so hard to understand
here? Jesus is plainly stating, that after He lays down His life on Calvary,
the THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WILL NOT SEE HIM ANYMORE) but
ye (the believer in Christ Jesus will) see
me: because I live (after dying on the cross, then
rising again, to ascend unto the Father), ye shall live also (because
the ascended Christ Jesus sends the Holy Spirit, even the Spirit of Truth to lead
us, guide us, and abide with us, who follow Him, forever). AT THAT DAY (Yes,
even today) YE
SHALL KNOW that I (Christ
Jesus) AM IN MY FATHER,
and YE (You
are) IN
ME (Christ Jesus), and I (Christ Jesus live) IN YOU. He
that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he (mankind:
just to be clear; man or woman who follows the Words of Christ Jesus)
that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I (Christ
Jesus) will
love him, and will MANIFEST
MYSELF to him (mankind: man or woman who
follows the Words of Christ Jesus).
John 14:22-26 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how
is it that thou wilt MANIFEST thyself unto
us, and not unto the world? Jesus
answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and
my Father will love him, and WE (the Father and the Son are One in
Spirit) will
come (appear:
Strongs 2064) unto
him, and make OUR
abode (residence, or dwelling place: Strongs
G3438, G3306) with
him (in
other words the LORD will appear or MANIFEST in the Spirit, and will COME to
live within the person who truly loves Him). He that loveth me not keepeth not my
sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent
me. These
things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is
the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all
things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.
Jesus said in John 10:9 I am the door (door to what?... Ans: the Kingdom): by me (Christ Jesus) if any man enter in (enter in what?... Ans: the Kingdom), he shall be saved (delivered, protected, healed, preserved, do well, be made whole: Strongs G4982), and shall go in (enter in: Strongs G1525) and out (proceed forth, spread abroad: Strongs G1831), and find pasture (supply, pasturage, food, eating, etc,: Strongs G3542). John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (Christ Jesus).
Matthew 6:13 (Remember when Jesus was teaching the disciples how to pray near the beginning of His ministry. He said in Matthew 6:9-10 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. THY KINGDOM COME. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH (Notice the word: IN as in earthen vessels), AS IT IS IN HEAVEN (IN the Spirit). Then at the end of the prayer He said to the Father as well as to the disciples…) For THINE IS (you are, ye yourselves, your house, is: Strongs G4675, G5210, G4771) (In other words Jesus said Almighty God the Father and HIS family is) THE KINGDOM, and THE POWER, and THE GLORY, FOREVER. Amen.
Matthew 16:15-20 He (Jesus) saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven… (Jesus stated in John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him MUST WORSHIP him in Spirit and in Truth. How can anyone worship our Heavenly Father, the Creator of all things, when they do not have the Spirit of God living within their innermost being, and … when they know not the Truth, because they have no knowledge whatsoever of God’s Word, in order to learn of Him, and make a definite decision, to serve Him or not?) …And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (that is to say, that upon this fact, that Almighty God the Father, who is Spirit, and Creator of all things, communicated and revealed, directly to Peter, the true revelation of the exact identity of Christ Jesus. At this particular moment, Jesus saw that His teaching had successfully found good ground, and had taken root in the heart of Peter. Therefore, Jesus definitely knew that Peter was able to hear from the Father. It was here, that Jesus saw that His ministry was working, and that He could and would establish His church, beginning with Peter) I will (*build: or *rebuild: Original Hebrew *my church: or *my called out assembly: Original Hebrew); and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of (*heaven: or of *Yahuah / The Lord: Original Hebrew): and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ or YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH Jesus Christ (Salvation in the Messiah).
Matthew 19:28-30 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me … in the *regeneration (remember the previous Word *rebuild) when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging (to distinguish, decide, try, ordain, condemn, avenge, damn, decree, sentence, determine, punish, or esteem, etc.) the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
John 15:7-13 IF YE ABIDE IN ME, and MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (Remember John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; … the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. Now this is praying in the ‘Character’ of Jesus) Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
(After Jesus had risen from the tomb, and before He ascended into Heaven, in) Matthew 28:18-20 … Jesus came and spake unto them (the disciples), saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye (you go) therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you (in other words, He is telling them, that He will be with them in the Spirit) (alway all, daily, 24 hours a day: G3956, G2250), even unto the (end entire completion, consummation: Strongs G4930) of the (world age: Strongs G165). Amen.
(Now look at what happens next. Mark
explains it clearly) Mark 16:19-20 So then
after the Lord had spoken unto them, HE
(Christ Jesus) was received
up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And THEY (the
disciples) went forth,
and preached everywhere, the Lord
(eventhough, He wasn’t present here in the flesh … He was
present here in the Spirit) working with them, and confirming the word with signs
following. Amen. (… and our Lord still
works with each believer that same way, unto this very day. Therefore, let us be DOERS of the Word,
and not hearers only)
Matthew 6:33 … seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness ...
Ok ... enough for now. I do hope you clearly see that Jesus Christ came in the flesh and completed His work of establishing His Kingdom here in the earth and returned to the Father in the Spirit. Plus, He has given this Kingdom to us, the people of the Most High, while still working with us from on High. Stay with me. In my next post, and we’ll get into the Keys to the Kingdom.
